Obtain a licence from MFCA in Astana city

In recent years, Kazakhstan has been actively gaining momentum in the global economy, presenting new opportunities for local entrepreneurs and foreign investors. Thanks to its stable economic growth, favourable investment policy and strategic geographical location, our state is becoming an excellent place to start a business. To become a participant in this growing market, registration of a company with MFCA is a prerequisite. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) is a unique economic zone whose participants have international legal status. The creation of this economic zone has significantly simplified business registration to support local entrepreneurship and attract foreign investment.

In order to do business in the MFCA jurisdiction in accordance with international standards, companies need to obtain a licence from MFCA. This financial centre has full control over the licensing of new companies, so strict requirements must be met in order to obtain a licence.

What types of businesses can obtain a licence from MFCA
An MFCA financial licence is mandatory for any business. Licensing is most often carried out:

AFSA's key requirements for obtaining a licence

When issuing licences, AFSA in Kazakhstan thoroughly inspects each company. It is important to meet the following basic requirements for successful licensing:

Legal registration. A company that needs an AFSA licence must be officially registered in the MFCA economic zone.

Financial transparency. This requirement mainly concerns the authorised capital. In order to obtain a licence, the minimum size of the MC must be 200 thousand US dollars. Payment of capital must be made to the firm's bank accounts on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The MC can be used in the calculation of prudential norms and as working capital.

Compliance with AML/CFT requirements. The company's activities should contribute to anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism.

Compliance. In order to be licensed to do business in Kazakhstan, a firm must have a clear system of rules and procedures to facilitate compliance with the law and prevent risks associated with violations of Kazakhstan law. For this purpose, the company must have a special internal control system in place. Audits must be carried out annually, with appropriate records approved by a meeting of managers.

Business reputation. To register a business with the MFCA, the experience and qualifications of company owners are necessarily checked.
